Flies for Atlantic Salmon & Steelhead by Trey Combs

This is not a how-to book about tying flies-although any reasonably experienced maker of working salmon or steelhead flies will gain a great deal of useful insight into fly design and function. As Combs does so well, he has delved into history and given today’s anglers a broad, fascinating view of the long progression of how salmon and steelhead flies developed over hundreds of years. To tell this story of transformation, the narrative needs storytellers. Trey Combs has rounded up a “who’s who” of supremely gifted fly dressers from the salmon rivers of Scandinavia and Scotland to the steelhead rivers of the Pacific Northwest. In stunning close-up photography of their remarkable creations, old and new, this beautiful, inspired book tells the tale. The book is divided into five major sections: the origins of Spey and Dee patterns on salmon rivers in Scotland and their migration to the steelhead rivers of North American, the transition to tube flies in Norway, modern steelhead flies, and modern salmon flies. More than 1,000 photographs and illustrations on heavy art-book matte stock; 11x8.5 inches, 384 pgs.
